Lesson Title: Medication Administration Checkoff

The selected video demonstrates how to correctly administer medication using the 5 Medication Rights.

Intended Audience: Pre-licensure nursing students

Objectives:

• The student will demonstrate how to successfully administer medications at the bedside.
• The student will educate the patient about their medications.
• The student will explain safety precautions to patient.
• The student will document medications given on MAR
• The student will re-assess patient after medication administration

A key strategy in nursing education is to help students connect class time with clinical time (Bristol, n.d.). A significant aspect of this is bringing clinical to class. The video mentioned above, can be used to prepare the learners for the on-site clinical lab as students are able to view the video as many times as needed to familiarize themselves with the content presented. The visual and auditory nature of videos appeals to a wide audience and allows each user to process information in a way that’s natural to them (Next Thought Studios, n.d.). As students review medication administration in their textbooks, they can view the video as a visual to see how to correctly perform a med pass. When the students arrive to class, they are prepared for the skill review and check off. This concept mirrors the flipped classroom approach. “Students gain first-exposure learning prior to class and focus on the processing part of learning in class” (Andrew, n.d.).

When the students arrive to class, the instructor would do a brief overview of the lesson and state the objectives. The students will be given an opportunity to asks any questions they may have about the video or textbook content. They will then role play giving medications at bedside. During checkoffs with the instructors, the students will demonstrate how to correctly give medications as well as explain the rationale about each step during the role playing. The instructor could also have the students record their own video administering medications in class as a way to evaluate the students.

Overall, the referenced video is a good video to use to demonstrate how to correctly administer medications.

Kimberly Morris    2 posts   Re: Topic 10 DQ 2  Over the past couple decades, nursing has taken a turn becoming more knowledge driven (Stevens, 2013). We are now expected not only to just care for our patients but also educate them and increase their health outcomes by recognizing and knowing what care would be best for them. We are now supposed to make recommendations to providers where before we just made sure patients were comfortable and their needs were met. Because the role of the nurse is changing and becoming a much more active participant in patient care, it is important for the nurse to continue to seek new information and advanced practices by utilizing evidence-based practices.  One way in which I will continue to integrate evidence into my practice is by using the literature review strategy. Our facility is currently doing a literature review four step problem solving on falls. We have currently had a large number of patient falls on our floor and we are doing evidence-based research to see if we can find a practice which would work for us to help decrease the number of falls. The second way I will integrate evidence would be to continue to read and research on my own time. If there is a topic which I feel I need to be educated on, I will look at journal articles or attend conferences or trainings to help increase my knowledge of the subject. This will help me in patient care and will give me necessary information to increase the health outcomes of my patients. If I notice an area within my department in which I feel we need to be better educated or I come across information which could be of interest to my coworkers, I will share this information with them in our weekly huddle or our monthly staff meetings. If I start doing this, maybe it would encourage others to do the same, thus encouraging increased use of evidence-based practice.  Obstacles which would challenge this is lack of interest from my coworkers. If they do not buy in to the idea of sharing knowledge, then they will not listen or learn. But I feel we have a team which is always looking at how to grow and how to become better. The manager of our floor is a driving force behind this. She is continually wanting us to move forward in our careers and encouraging us to learn and become better nurses. She is a great manager and encourager.  Reference  Stevens, K. (2013). The impact of evidence-based practice in nursing and the next big ideas. The Online   Journal of Issues in Nursing.

Re: Topic 1 DQ 2  Great post also in 2010 the Institute of Medicine(IOM) issued the Future  of Nursing leading  changes in Advancing Health (Institute of Medicine, 2010a)The report not  only informs and highlightes the needs for changes in nursing education  to meet the  changing face fo healthcare but also recommends  the nursing profession increase  the number of registered nurses (RNs) with bachelors degree in nursing (BSN) to 80% by the year 2020(IOM,2010a).The increase in complexity of care is one of the many reasons  driving the IOM recommendation.(NursingLicense.org,2016)with facilities believing that the associate  degree nurses are well trained to manage the day -to -day task  but healthcare today requires more than what is  taught in ADN program. Need APA RERENCE AND INTEX CITATION FOR THIS RESPONSE 

Numerical data, measured in quantitative terms, reveal trends and patterns over time. For, example testing a new fall-prevention program within your hospital would require you to obtain a baseline fall rate before the program and then again after implementation of the program. Statistically, you could compare rate of falls before the new program with the rate of falls after the new program.

Describe another example of quantitative research design. How do quantitative research designs improve quality of care and health outcomes?

Phenomenological places focus on “history, culture, economics, education, spiritual beliefs, values, common characteristics, or similar goals (GCU, 2019)” and help the members in a population feel a sense of belonging. The sense of belonging may be experienced in a place with other members who are working towards a common goal, these places usually allow the members to share a common interest as they work towards similar goals. Some examples may be at a library, local animal shelter, a church or place of religion. During an assessment, these individuals may share similar interventions for needs and interventions. Geopolitical places look at certain geographical places that may have an influence on an individuals health. There may be different geographic boundaries and characteristics that can lead to population specific assessment data being collected and the need for geographic related interventions. For example, in recent news we have seen the Bahamas become devastated by Hurricane Dorian, and because of the geological effects from the natural disaster, the people in the Bahamas have many needs and interventions that are needed currently. Geopolitical assessments and interventions may differ based on the climate, natural disasters, vegetation, and animals/insects, for example.Nurses still need to assess the population, identify needs and interventions, and pursue goals and patient specific planning. The nurse will assess with regards to a specific group, or population and address barriers and priorities. The nurse may conduct assessments by primary sources (talking with individuals, conducting a windshield survey, and examining the area) or by utilizing secondary sources (national/state/local sources such as the census bureau, school enrollments, etc., and by conducting surveys for example). By conducting these surveys, the nurse can better determine the needs of a specific community, formulate a community specific nursing diagnoses, and use evidence based practice to to form “achievable strategies to fit the target population, determinated resources, and seeks assistance and/or funding as needed (GCU, 2019).” The nurse can work towards attainable goals for the community to better the public health or reduce risks, leaving the community being intervened with safer.
